But darling, to you, i was a. . .

To you i was a gift,
the one who put a smile on your face
you thought you would have me forever,
but darling, with you is not my place

to you, i was a toy,
the one you could play for hours
you thought i would never break
but darling, I'm no artificial flowers

to you i was a book,
the one you only read once
you thought i was your fairytale
but darling, you and i will never dance

to you i was a promise,
the one you said you would keep
you thought you'd never swallow your words
but darling, our feelings will never go as deep.
